Some disaggregations could result in numbers too small for publication. The hospital separations data provide only a partial picture of the overall burden of injury as it does not include injuries that are treated by GPs and in the emergency department that do not require admission to hospital. The number and pattern of hospitalisations can be affected by differing admission practices among the jurisdictions and from year to year, and differing levels and patterns of service delivery. This aligns with Indicator 1.03 of The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework. Hospitalisation rates are presented in greater detail in the framework, including age-specific rates, Indigenous: other rate ratios for each State/Territory, and breakdown by type of injury and external cause. A related indicator, Hospitalisation rates by principal diagnosis, exists in the National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA). While the specifications for the NIRA indicator have not been endorsed (as at 20 July 2009) the specifications for NHA indicator P62 are mappable to the draft NIRA indicator. Interpretation of rates for jurisdictions should take cross-border flows into consideration. The quality of data on Indigenous status is not considered to be adequate for analysis purposes for the ACT and Tasmania. |
